Machinima contest

Paris, December 8, 2008– Before the release of Still Life 2, Microïds and GameCo launch a machinima contest. The producer of the Still Life series and the Still Life 2 developer allow Still Life fans to design a 30 seconds trailer thanks to exclusive elements from the game under development at GameCo studios.

You will then be given access to exclusive Still Life 2 material: animations, ingame videos, musics, screenshots… You will simply have to post your work* before January 10, 2009.

The winner will be announced on January 15 by a jury composed of Microïds and GameCo representatives, and his/her trailer will be posted on the official website: www.stilllife-game.com.

The winner’s name will furthermore be added to the game credits.

*The trailer needs to be 45 seconds maximum. It will not exceed 30Mb. Recommended formats are .MOV, AVI, MPEG4 or WMV.

Do not forget that PCs and Mac usually have pre-installed softwares for video creation (Windows Movie Maker for PCs, Imovie for Mac).
